=item * By subroutine - the path to the current file is passed to C<$_>, and the subroutine must return true or false, as understood by Perl.

=item * Regexp – tests each path with a regular expression.

=item * String in the form "-Xxx", where C<Xxx> is one or more characters. Similar to Perl operators for testing files. Example: C<-fr> checks the path with file testers LLL<https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/-X>.

=item * The remaining lines are turned by the C<wildcard> function (see below) into a regular expression to test each path.

=back

Paths that fail the C<@filters> check are not returned.

If the -X filter is not a perl file function, an exception is thrown:

	eval { find "example", "-h" }; $@   # ~> Undefined subroutine &Aion::Fs::h called

In this example, C<find> cannot enter the subdirectory and passes an error to the C<errorenter> function (see below) with the C<$_> and C<$!> variables set (to the directory path and the OS error message).

B<Attention!> If C<errorenter> is not specified, then all errors are B<ignored>!

	mkpath ["example/", 0];
	
	[find "example"]                  # --> ["example"]
	[find "example", noenter "-d"]    # --> ["example"]
	
	eval { find "example", errorenter { die "find $_: $!" } }; $@   # ~> find example: Permission denied
	
	mkpath for qw!ex/1/11 ex/1/12 ex/2/21 ex/2/22!;
	
	my $count = 0;
	find "ex", sub { find_stop if ++$count == 3; 1};
	$count # -> 3

=head2 noenter (@filters)

Tells C<find> not to enter directories matching the filters behind it.

=head2 errorenter (&block)

Calls C<&block> for every error that occurs when a directory cannot be entered.

=head2 find_stop ()

Stops C<find> being called in one of its filters, C<errorenter> or C<noenter>.

	find "ex", sub { find_stop if ++$count == 3; 1};

=head2 erase (@paths)

Removes files and empty directories. Returns C<@paths>. If there is an I/O error, it throws an exception.
